Townsville Spare #2448
Isn’t it amazing what “on the spur of the moment” desires and choices can make you do (uploading my own pictures of this beast now rather then saving them for later down the track). So I just happened to be checking my YouTube notifications and subscriptions feed pages to see what was going on in The Land Down Under Garbage World today… and sure enough, I see a video recommended in my trending. With curiosity killing the cat, I couldn’t help but click on the video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2pu6wU1XV4) wondering which council in which state this glorious beautiful 2010 Euro 4 Acco 2350G piece of equipment might have worked in. I start watching, spy on the right hand side of the body the signage is wrapped in all red, then the rego plate letters are printed in maroon, immediately narrowing it down to working in either SA or QLD and I take note of them very carefully: 444-MCS. At this point it soon clicked with me that this is the machine I just happened to catch up with on my very first North Queensland holiday away back in July 2022 this year! I couldn’t believe my luck - this is the same truck I photographed just 2 months ago as what appeared in that video taken almost 8 years ago! This is the signage I remember seeing on Townsville’s trucks back in the day, and how sweet is it now that I caught up with the very same truck and even had my photograph taken (yes, I couldn’t resist lol) in front of it but instead done up recently with the new paint scheme and signage that TCC have on display on 3/4 of their trucks at the moment. This is the last 2010 Euro 4 Acco they now run in their fleet, all the other older units from those days were decommissioned about 3-4 years ago when they brought in all the new DAF’s. Just as well when they made the decision to get rid of all the other rockets they decided to keep one, just one, the one and only otherwise I would have been a broken man if I had’ve discovered that there was not a single old-school Acco left and still in service in the Yard when I went for a tour of the Mount Saint John Depot on that Tuesday afternoon :O :S lmao
